Alan Alexander Milne cytaty

„A ty jak się masz? – spytał Puchatek
– Nie bardzo się mam – odpowiedział Kłapouchy. – Już nie pamiętam czasów, żebym jakoś się miał.”

„Są tacy, co mają rozum, a są tacy, co go nie mają, i już.”

„Im bardziej Puchatek zaglądał do środka, tym bardziej Prosiaczka tam nie było.”

„Kiedy kobieta wielkiej urody dziękuje mężczyźnie z pokorą za coś, czego jeszcze nie otrzymała, dżentelmen ma tylko jedno wyjście.”

„Dziwny jest niedźwiedzi ród,
Że tak bardzo lubi miód.”

„A gdybym ja posadził plaster miodu przed moim domem, czy wyrośnie z niego ul?”

„Pekińczyk wcale nie jest psem do towarzystwa. To raczej niewyrośnięty lew.”

„Nie wszyscy mogą i któryś z nas też nie może. I w tym cała rzecz.”

“What I like doing best is Nothing."

"How do you do Nothing," asked Pooh after he had wondered for a long time.

"Well, it's when people call out at you just as you're going off to do it, 'What are you going to do, Christopher Robin?' and you say, 'Oh, Nothing,' and then you go and do it.

It means just going along, listening to all the things you can't hear, and not bothering."

"Oh!" said Pooh.”

“I think we dream so we don’t have to be apart for so long. If we’re in each other’s dreams, we can be together all the time.”

“People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.”

“I'm not lost for I know where I am. But however, where I am may be lost.”

“It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like "What about lunch?”

“Rivers know this: there is no hurry. We shall get there some day.”

“If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day so I never have to live without you.”

“Promise me you'll never forget me because if I thought you would, I'd never leave.”

“If there ever comes a day when we can't be together, keep me in your heart. I'll stay there forever.”

“Some people care too much. I think it's called love.”

“What day is it?"
It's today," squeaked Piglet.
My favorite day," said Pooh.”

“I wonder what Piglet is doing," thought Pooh.
"I wish I were there to be doing it, too.”

“Just because an animal is large, it doesn't mean he doesn't want kindness; however big Tigger seems to be, remember that he wants as much kindness as Roo.”

“To the uneducated an A is just three sticks.”

“How lucky am I to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.”

“You are stronger than you seem,
Braver than you believe,
and smarter than you think you are.”

“It was a drowsy summer afternoon, and the Forest was full of gentle sounds, which all seemed to be saying to Pooh, 'Don't listen to Rabbit, listen to me.' So he got in a comfortable position for not listening to Rabbit.”

“Halfway down the stairs
Is a stair
Where I sit.
There isn't any
Other stair
Quite like
It.
I'm not at the bottom,
I'm not at the top;
So this is the stair
Where
I always
Stop.

Halfway up the stairs
Isn't up,
Isn't down.
It isn't in the nursery,
It isn't in the town.
And all sorts of funny thoughts
Run round my head:
"It isn't really
Anywhere!
It's somewhere else
Instead!"”

“Then Christopher Robin and Winnie the Pooh walked hand in hand down the forest path and they said goodbye. So they went off together. But wherever they go, and whatever happens to them on the way, in that enchanted place on the top of the forest a little boy and his bear will always be playing and waiting.”

“By the time it came to the edge of the Forest the stream had grown up, so that it was almost a river, and, being grown-up, it did not run and jump and sparkle along as it used to do when it was younger, but moved more slowly. For it knew now where it was going, and it said to itself, "There is no hurry. We shall get there some day."”

“Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind.
"Pooh!" he whispered.
"Yes, Piglet?"
"Nothing," said Piglet, taking Pooh's paw. "I just wanted to be sure of you.”

“You can't stay in your corner of the Forest waiting for others to come to you. You have to go to them sometimes.”

“Weeds are flowers, too, once you get to know them.”

“I knew when I met you an adventure was going to happen.”

“Sometimes,' said Pooh, 'the smallest things take up the most room in your heart.”

“One of the advantages of being disorganized is that one is always having surprising discoveries.”

“If the person you are talking to doesn't appear to be listening, be patient. It may simply be that he has a small piece of fluff in his ear.”

“I used to believe in forever, but forever's too good to be true”

“Some people talk to animals. Not many listen though. That's the problem.”
